WiMax Viability Questioned > It's a bad idea

Re: It's a bad idea

So no answer for my other questions? Just educate myself on WiMax before I talk to someone as knowledgeable as you? I don't buy it. Not at all.

Show me how great WiMax is. Explain to me or point me to some information that shows me how it works and how it's going to be the next big thing.

BTW - WiFI.. You got me there too. I was truly thinking wireless in general actually.

I still say WiMax is Stop-Gap at best. IF it even sees the light of day. (Which I sort of doubt) This is my whole issue with WiMax. Can you tell me that it will have what it takes to provide the bandwith needed to compete with a FTTH line? I seriously doubt it. It seriously jacks us around and puts us further behind in the broadband world when we waste time and effort on tech that is going to be obsolete in no time due to the fact that it doesn't have enough capacity.

It's all going to end up at the same place. Fiber. Fiber is the only thing that will work capacity wise. The good thing is that our idiotic government is probrobly going to kiss the hands of the big companies anyway and ruin the internet and broadband as we know it anyway. I guess that it all works out in the end right? At least we can count on WiMax. Oh wait, no we can't....
